BEIJING, Dec. 6-- The Communist Party of China (CPC) Central Committee has convened a symposium to solicit opinions and suggestions on economic work from non-CPC personages. Xi Jinping, general secretary of the CPC Central Committee, presided over the symposium attended by leaders of eight non-Communist parties and the All-China Federation of Industry and Commerce, as well as personages without party affiliations, in Beijing on Wednesday. Addressing the meeting, Xi said efforts should be made to focus on key areas, shore up weak links and strengthen coordination of various departments and policies toward the goal of building a moderately prosperous society in all respects. He stressed improving methods of leading the economic work, practicing frugality, rejecting extravagance and waste, and fighting against formalism and bureaucratism. Li Keqiang, Wang Yang, Wang Huning and Han Zheng, all members of the Standing Committee of the Political Bureau of the CPC Central Committee, were present at the symposium. Li reviewed the economic work this year and introduced the CPC Central Committee's considerations for next year's economic work. The non-CPC personages voiced their agreement with the CPC Central Committee's analysis of the economic situation and plans for economic work for the next year. They also gave suggestions on multiple aspects including improving economic policies, advancing the integrated development of the Yangtze River Delta and the Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao Greater Bay Area, as well as enhancing sci-tech innovation to underpin the high-quality growth, which Xi said would be seriously considered by the CPC Central Committee. |
